JOE BOUCHER - Piano and Lead Vocals

Joe grew up in the quaint seaside village of Biddeford Maine on the New England coast. He is a singer and songwriter who, for eight years, fronted the power pop band Frotus Caper. They recorded and released four critically acclaimed albums while performing constantly. Throughout that time he worked regularly as a studio session musician, playing piano and arranging pop, rock and folk songs for many artists.

For ten seasons Joe has acted as the Concert Manager for The Portland Symphony Orchestra. Prior to that he spent seven years touring internationally as stage manager before meeting his future bride Barbara.

Joe and Barbara live in Portland, Maine with their seven year old son Henry, their two year old twins, George and Jane and a beagle named Bogey. Most summer nights they can be found sitting on the back porch listening to the Red Sox.
